Thanks

1) I can see the difference
-                for (a /= res; a % 10 != 0; a /= 10)
+                for (a /= res; a % 10 == 0; a /= 10)
but I'm just not that clever to apply a patch.

2) I touch'ed a dest file so it's got tomorrow's date, and cp -p still 
copies to it, although not updating  (downdating?) it's timestamp.

3) I also put the story on  http://tuxera.com/forum/  as 
szaka <at> tuxera.com asked, so I spose ntfs-3g-devel <at> lists.sf.net is not now 
the place to look.

Must admit I haven't done all this before, so I don't want to put 
something stupid all over the world.
